Description
6-phase Pwm Controller With Light Load Efficiency Enhancement And Current Monitoring
Manufacturer
Intersil Corporation
Datasheet
6-Phase PWM Controller with Light Load
Efficiency Enhancement and Current
Monitoring
The ISL6336B controls microprocessor core voltage
regulation by driving up to 6 interleaved synchronous-rectified
buck channels in parallel. Multiphase buck converter
architecture uses interleaved timing to multiply channel ripple
frequency and reduce input and output ripple currents. Lower
ripple results in fewer components, lower component cost,
reduced power dissipation, and smaller implementation area.
Microprocessor loads can generate load transients with
extremely fast edge rates and require high efficiency over
the full load range. The ISL6336B utilizes Intersil’s
proprietary Active Pulse Positioning (APP) and Adaptive
Phase Alignment (APA) modulation scheme and a
proprietary active phase dropping/adding and diode
emulation scheme to achieve extremely fast transient
response with fewer output capacitors and high efficiency
from light load to full load.
The ISL6336B is compliant with Intel’s VR11.1 specification.
Features include a pin (IMON) for current monitoring and a
Power State Indicator (PSI#) input pin to initiate a proprietary
phase dropping and diode emulation scheme for higher
efficiency at light load by dropping to 1- or 2-phase operation
with optional diode emulation to reduce switching and core
losses in the converter. After the PSI# signal is de-asserted,
the dropped phase(s) are added back to sustain heavy load
transient and efficiency.
Today’s microprocessors require a tightly regulated output
voltage position versus load current (droop). The ISL6336B
senses the output current continuously by utilizing patented
techniques to measure the voltage across a dedicated
current sense resistor or the DCR of the output inductor.
Current sensing provides the needed signals for precision
droop, channel-current balancing, and overcurrent
protection. A programmable integrated temperature
compensation function is implemented to effectively
compensate the temperature variation of the current sense
element. A current limit function provides overcurrent
protection for the individual phase.
A unity gain, differential amplifier is provided for remote voltage
sensing and eliminates any potential difference between
remote and local grounds. This improves regulation and
protection accuracy. The threshold-sensitive enable input is
available to accurately coordinate the start up of the ISL6336B
with any other voltage rail. Dynamic-VID™ technology allows
seamless on-the-fly VID changes. The offset pin allows
accurate voltage offset settings that are independent of VID
setting.
